Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

"The Foulness (Freestyle 2)" is a freestyle rap over Big Daddy Kane "Young, Gifted and Black", Biz Markie "Nobody Beats the Biz", EPMD "You Gots to Chill".
"The Message" is not faded in like on "It Was Written" and with the Al Pacino/Tony Montana "You wanna waste my time? Okay. I call my lawyer..." monolog from "Scarface".
"Freestyle 1" is a freestyle rap over Biz Markie "Make The Music With Your Mouth", Eric B & Rakim "Eric B Is President" and EPMD "So Watcha Sayin'". It is the same Freestyle as on Nas "Untitled Freestyle" (opens in a new tab).
STERLING mastering stamp in the run-out groove.
